A sad blog...

I'm a little sad about my blog being ignored for so long.

And if you can imagine if my blog is being ignored this bad just how bad the rest of my life must seem right now.

It is Thursday morning and I haven't taken a shower since late Sunday night while I was still visiting my folks in WI. 

I make sure I don't have my contacts in while I shower because I am sure I have pink mold growing in my shower and I don't want the reminder that I've neglected the cleaning.

The suitcases haven't been touched since said trip to WI.

I have flats of flowers and veggies that are still not planted.

The lawn looks like I should turn out the cows to graze.

I haven't ran in a week (not sure how I will be ready for a 5K in a month or a 10K in October).

My kitchen counters are piled so high with paperwork I don't have room to cook.

Speaking of cooking, I haven't cooked a made from scratch meal in a couple of weeks.  Steaks on the grill don't count in my opinion.

I just realized that my baby turns one next Monday and I haven't even started planning her party.  I was on a parts run yesterday and I bought her a present in the hardware store.  I know that she doesn't care, but there is still a part of me that is disappointed in myself. 

Through it all I keep reminding myself that my 4 kids are happy and healthy and they don't care what the house looks like or if I cheated on a meal or if I miss a few weeks blogging when they are old enough to go back and read this blog. 

It has been a long calving and planting season.  They miss their daddy.  I miss their daddy.  He put in a 22 hour day yesterday, but he got up and ate breakfast with them this morning before heading out the door again.

I have way too much to be thankful for to dwell on all that I am behind on.  So, with 4 kids, planting season, spring projects and getting into a school's out routine I guess the blog might get neglected a little more.

Yep, there is a lot to smile about.
